Banana Ice Cream

Have you ever craved ice cream but wanted to spare the calories (and the guilt?) Well, then, I have a treat for you! You can make healthy ice cream (I know, sounds like an oxymoron) with just one simple ingredient: bananas!

All you need are bananas, which you’ve frozen ahead of time. For the picture below, I used two frozen bananas and pulsed them in my food processor until they turned creamy. If your bananas are super frozen, it will take a few minutes until they turn smooth. You’ll just want to keep taking off the lid to your food processor, scraping the sides, and pulsing the bananas until they turn into an ice cream consistency.

If you want it to have the true ice cream look, you can freeze your ice cream after you food process it; then, after a few hours, scoop it with an ice cream scooper. It will then look like this:

And, if you want to get really fancy (like I was in the picture above), you can add 1 tablespoon of all-natural, no sugar added peanut butter after pulsing your bananas.
